In April 1872, Vesuvius erupted in a violent cataclysm. It is considered to be the first volcanic eruption ever photographed. Major eruptions have followed since, with the next eruption dangerously looming. Each eruption leads to the next cataclysm, each period of quiescence to forgetfulness and complacency. Amidst the fire, I am not burnt is a surface reading of the iconic landscape shaped by Vesuvius. It researches the different temporalities, scientific and popular approaches, historic and presentday photographic representations, and stories inscribed in this cyclical landscape.

Bart Lodewijks was invited to make chalk drawings in Belgium’s newest prison, in Haren, Brussels. When he arrived there it was still only a construction site, so he started drawing along the Witloofstraat , the street the prison is located on. He soon became acquainted with the local residents who were concerned about the pending arrival of their new neighbours; twelve hundred prisoners. Fourteen months later the inmates arrived in vans with bulletproof glass. Lodewijks goes inside with the very first group of them, eager to draw on the most feared wall of them all, the wall of walls, to breach the line separating good from evil.

208 p, colour 24 × 17 cm, hb, English
ISBN 9789464460681
Euro 40.00 (incl. 9%VAT)
Future Estate is a long term research project documenting how places are organized and disorganized by commodity production; the geopolitics of development; and the zoning practices, extractions, and transnational investments that come with uneven processes of global labor and distribution. Drawn to the messy and contingent worlds where life plays out, the book makes use of the unheroic image, the sideways view of the margins, offering alternative pathways to consider a world produced, consumed, constructed, maintained, variously inhabited, and precariously lived.

This is a collaboration between Soapbox and WARP research group.
“What might be considered the research output of a walking practice? Where and when does the research occur in relation to the walk, the walking and the walkers? Does the walk activate our senses, or do our senses demand that we walk? What and where are the objects and subjects of a walk? How might walking help us emphasise our connection to the more-thanhuman world? What are the entry points to a city through walking? How might walking provide a path toward more socially just urban spaces and commons?”

Materialising in various forms such as plaited paintings to wall hangings, murals, brickwork, ceramic works, and drawings made using a variety of techniques. One technique Jacobs regularly experiments with is that of plaiting paper, whereby old and new works or figurative and geometric images are woven together into a two-sided 2-D surface that is image, pattern, texture, and structure all-in one.
